We can now create an intentional global community where the capacity to respond to each other's needs can happen in milliseconds. Recently, I was teaching a Dowsing course and shared it on social media and discovered that a newfound Facebook friend just happened to live in the town where I was teaching.

A goal of education could be to create not just good minds but good people. This requires a fundamental rethinking of how teachers prepare children for the challenges of adulthood. It can start with “social and emotional” learning: helping students learn how to recognize and master their turbulent feelings and to acknowledge kindness as an essential ingredient of everyday life.
